Pakistan Super League has always been compared to the rich Indian Premier League since it started in 2015. The two leagues cannot compete in terms of brand value. Because the best cricketers from all over the world participate in this league, it is evident that IPL is the best league in the world in terms of both pay outs to players and quality.

Mohammad Rizwan, a batter and wicketkeeper for Pakistan, disagrees. Because it is the toughest Twenty20 league in the world, he believes PSL is superior. He said that recently on the side lines of a PSL event.

“PSL has created a lot of stir in the world of cricket. A lot of quality foreign players feel PSL is the toughest league in the league. A lot of experienced overseas players also feel the same. Even a good player in the T20 league is benched at times,”

Rizwan spoke during the media interaction of PSL event.

Mohammad Rizwan explains why PSL is bigger than IPL – “Reserve player bhi hota hai to internationally bahar baitha hua hota hai." 👀 👀 #IPL2023 #PSL2023#IPL #PSL #MohammadRizwan pic.twitter.com/5SFIuuqJFX

When it comes back to the PSL vs. IPL debate, comparing the two leagues is unfair. In their own ways, both leagues greatly benefit the cricket talent of India and Pakistan. To determine which league is the most difficult, individuals who play in all leagues are better able to make decisions. Bowlers like Haris Rauf have quickly progressed to the top of Pakistan’s cricket team. The PSL was to blame for everything. In parallel, the Indian Premier League has produced some high-quality T20 players for India. Not to neglect, because of the IPL, today India has a huge gathering of valuable global stars.
